For reporting

Save the source before it changes

Posts get edited, statements get deleted, pages get quietly rewritten. Save the page as you read it: a full screenshot, its words and a PDF, dated and fingerprinted, at a link you can share.

What you get

For journalists

  • Every format at once

    Markdown, plain text, a full-page screenshot, a PDF and a web archive, from one load of the page in a real browser.

  • Versions over time

    Save the page again whenever it changes and keep each version: 10 versions per link on Free, 100 on Pro.

  • Fingerprinted

    Each saved file carries its SHA-256, so anyone can check a copy is exactly what was saved.

  • A link you own

    The copy lives at your short link: add + for its archive page, .pdf or .md for a format.

How it works

  1. 01

    Paste the page. Snip loads it in a real browser and keeps everything at once.

  2. 02

    Save it again later. Each version is kept by date, so a change shows.

  3. 03

    Share or file it. The archive page for readers, the PDF and screenshot for your files.

Questions

Questions reporters ask.

Shorten a link

Can I prove when a page was saved?

Each version records when it was saved and each file's SHA-256 fingerprint, shown on its archive page and in its JSON. The fingerprint changes if a single byte does.

Can I keep copies private?

Yes. With an account, a link's saved copies can be private, so only you can open them, while the link itself still works.

What does it not save?

Pages behind a login, and pages that ask not to be archived (Snip respects that and says so).

Does it work from a phone?

Yes. Paste the address here or on the home page from any browser; the archive page reads well on a phone too.
